The film's target audience - dummies everywhere - will be blown away. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
It's based on a computer game, Hitman (see what they did with that title?), though even when it reaches maximum velocity, it's still panting behind The Bourne Ultimatum for style and excitement. Full Review |

Rubbish, of course, but some teenage boys love this stuff. Don't rule out sequels. Full Review |

This film is like watching the actual game played by someone with slow reactions. That's not much of a spectator sport. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Obviously made to appeal to the computer game’s fans, it still begs the question: How does a film with this level of violence get a certificate of 15? Full Review |

1/5 |
Xavier Gens should have stuck to making music videos rather than inflict his goldfish-like attention-span on cinema. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
It might just be one of the best videogame adaptations ever made, which isn’t saying much. It could also be the film of the week which, come to think of it, isn’t saying much either. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
Yet another depressing confirmation of the inability of filmmakers to turn decent videogames into decent films. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
A soulless, slackly directed, suspense-free exercise in misanthropy packed with unconvincing stereotypes Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Hitman continues the grand Hollywood tradition of completely failing to turn a computer game into a decent movie. Full Review |
||
|
1/6 |
There’s a cool opening credits sequence, but beyond that ‘Hitman’ doesn’t make much sense, is encumbered by clunky dialogue, some amateurish performances and clichéd set-pieces we’ve seen umpteen times before. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Hitman starts well but quickly degenerates into a confusing, badly plotted mess, enlivened only by the occasional gunfight and the luminous presence of Olga Kurylenko. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A bit po-faced and unremarkable; more outrageousness and humour would have helped. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Incoherent and utterly lacking in panache, style or originality, Hitman is missing an ‘s’. Full Review |

Olyphant faz o possível com um personagem unidimensional por natureza, mas o roteiro absurdo e a direção frágil de Gens, que parece acreditar que cortes rápidos substituem arcos narrativos, conferem ao filme um ar de produção feita para DVD.

You should see this movie for the action and gunfights... oh, and for Olga Kurylenko. Full Review |
